Roman Soldier Diet and fitness

[Peroni]

There is a mention too, somewhere, of a type of bread that was supposed to be baked several times. The supplier cut corners to maximise his profit, and only baked it once or something, and it all went off, or made the troops sick.

They could be talking about hardtack.

After all the name 'biscuit' comes from the latin for twice ovened or twice baked.

There's a lot of other threads concerning both diet and hardtack.(Bucellata)
